[QUOTE="Silverado6x6, post: 95609, member: 3021"] If the PO had not taken off the battery side cover to either keep or sell (it could be simply missing) he could have stayed firm on his asking price of $2500. Now it turns out for that year, model and mileage the bike is worth $5,000, thats the going price and higher for nearly identical Wings here in Alaska. Either there is an issue in waiting or I am one lucky SOB to have picked this up at $1,000 and a trade. Rode bike yesterday with my son who is bigger than me at 240, me at around 215, had nasty cross winds on the road at 35mph. Bike performed flawlessly, plenty of power, shifts like an automatic, no gear whine, good braking. We then changed bikes and rode two up on my 89 Yamaha Venture Royale, we both agreed the Venture felt better and handled better at slower speeds but the Wing was superior at high speed get up and go and keep on going attributes. Being a truck driver it gives me the impression of driving a Peterbilt tractor, thats just me though, I would still rather ride the Venture but if I ever need to ride a long distance with a lot of gear the Wing will be the bike, next up is looking for a trailer or fabbing one.
